Flamboyant German chart-toppers Lord Of The Lost unveil 'Ghosts' – the awe-inspiring new single from their upcoming studio album, OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, out 8th August 2025 via Napalm Records. The Hamburg-based outfit is joined by none other than world-renowned cellist Tina Guo, celebrated for her electrifying performances with Hans Zimmer and collaborations with heavy acts such as Kamelot, Beyond the Black and Sabaton. This haunting piece of art expands the sonic universe of the genre-defying band even further, fusing dark metal with theatrical finesse and profound emotional depth.

Tina Guo commented on the collaboration: "Working with Lord Of The Lost on 'Ghosts' has been an incredibly inspiring and fun experience. The entire creative process flowed beautifully, and it was a true joy to create art with such talented and wonderful individuals. I especially loved the cello battling with Chris! Their passion and vision made every moment memorable, and filming the music video together created an unforgettable energy and synergy."

Chris Harms adds: “Tina Guo is not only a phenomenal cellist, but also one of the most wonderful and inspiring people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in the music industry. Performing this song with her -and even playing the cello together - was incredible, both in the studio and during the video shoot. But I can’t wait to have her on stage with us live someday!”

'Ghosts' is more profound proof of Lord Of The Lost ’s ever-evolving soundscape – a testament to their ability to constantly uncover new angles while staying true to their roots. Following the era-defining success of their #1 album Blood & Glitter (Official German Album Charts) and their celebrated appearance in the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, Lord Of The Lost continue to push boundaries with unmatchable versatility. OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 is the first album of an exciting album trilogy, featuring several strictly limited special editions - pre-order your copy of OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 and act fast, as the first formats are already selling out.

What is the essence of Lord Of The Lost in 2025? That is one of the questions OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 fearlessly begins to answer. Once again, the band proves not only musical excellence but also masterful craftsmanship: Produced by Chris Harms, recorded, mixed, and mastered at the legendary CHAMELEON STUDIOS in Hamburg, the 11 tracks hit with a force and brilliance that immediately transport us into a dark yet colourful ballroom. From there, the tone is set: Dark Wave Metal on an amphitheater scale.

Chris Harmscomments on the album: “Darkness, melancholy, loneliness - all words that often have negative connotations, that we may associate with danger, sadness and loss, and not without reason. But darkness can also be security, melancholy the warm and sentimental feeling of our memories, and loneliness becomes necessary silence, peace and inner contemplation. OPVS NOIR is a travel guide, or perhaps also a travelogue, through the dark sides of our inner world, which so often move precisely in the area of tension between what we emotionally categorize as positive or negative. And with Vol. 1, all of this is just the beginning of this 3-part journey...”
